When facts and real life are mixed with imagination in a well developed story, the outcome is entirely wondecul.

This is an odd question. A lot of the novel didn't necessarily seem real to me, so I'm not sure what this question means. Also, Alex is pretty unlikable so I wasn't impressed with much of this.

The story is fictional and based off of the main character being able to travel through the internet. Humans can't travel through the internet so that is definitely a difference. However, we all rely on the internet for so many things, including banking information that Alex was able to access while inside the net. There are evil people who do bad things to make money while other people are struggling in the real world. That would be a similarity.

I think the similarity between the vulnerability of our information is hard to miss. So too is the greed for wealth and the weakness of human will. One the other hand, Alex has the ability to jump into the internet and as far as I know, no one has that superpower just yet. Also, we always want to see justice carried out as we deem it fit but either lack the resources or the capability to carry it out versus Alex actively taking on the vigilante role.

I think the most similar topic is the unfairness of life. Alex faces that reality from an early age and does the best with what he has to surpass that. It's different in many ways - one of which is you can't go to every country you wish and have them coincidentally all speak the same language.

I really don't believe in supernatural powers, I just think is an imagination.

The difference is that "realism" is spiced-up with fantacy. In real life, its all reality, and there's a very high chance its not gonna be all that rosy.
